What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“For mainly two reasons:

1. Regardless of how thorough we are checking for bugs and broken game mechanics, players who just play the game are more likely to identify them. That way, we can deliver a much more solid game once we leave Early Access.

2. The game now has a solid base and features. We decided to let the community choose what features and types of content they want to have added. Shortly after our Early Access launch, everyone who owns a copy the game can not only bring up new ideas but also vote on ideas other people have added. That way, we can truly say that we will create the game our players want. Early Access is the perfect opportunity for doing this.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our estimate is by January 2020. Since the community decides what we add to the game, it's hard to be very exact about a possible release date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game will not only have much more content, but also content the community really wanted. There will be more unique dungeons to explore, more puzzles and the stories will be more profound. All bugs that players will encounter during the Early Access phase will be fixed in final version of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most of the systems work as they should in the final version:
- Fighting with different weapons such as bows, swords, magic runes, war machines
- Creating your village and developing it to the highest level
- Crafting all necessary tools, swords and armors in functional buildings in your village
- Creating NPC's for your village
- You can reveal the secret of the warhorn and finish the main storyline
- All systems linked to the survival element of the game: killing, looting, cooking, eating, drinking, crafting, etc.
- Solving puzzles that are essential to finish the game.

There will be more unique swords, runes and armor parts that you can craft or find in the final version of the game. Players can expect much more content, items and a more lively world with the final release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, because we aim for player-driven implementation of features. After our first closed testing phase we quickly realized that we need more manpower, because the feedback of our players was not only overwhelming but also very valuable. Some great ideas have been introduced and we want to implement them into our game. Sadly, more manpower also means more costs. To cover those, the game pricing will be slightly higher after we leave Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Apart from the already mentioned voting process involving the community, we will have regular community-panels where the general state of the game is being discussed and where players will be able to talk about things that aren't necessarily feature-related. The players will have all the power in the process of shaping the world of the game.”

About This Game
